Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 109 Kiyomizu Temple, the beginning of fate
From 8 o'clock in the morning, GAKKI took Lin Yuan out for a trip.

Although his master-level Japanese skills gave him a deep understanding of Japan's customs and culture, he still hasn't been to a place he hasn't been to. Even if you read thousands of books, you still need to travel thousands of miles.

GAKKI-chan, wearing a white mini dress, first took Lin Yuan to Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine, which may be Japan's most famous shrine overseas.

Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine was built in the 8th century and is mainly dedicated to the Inari god.

Inari is the deity of agriculture and commerce, and pilgrims come to pray for good harvests, prosperous business, and safe transportation. It is one of the most popular shrines in Kyoto.

When Lin Yuan stepped into Fushimi Inari Taisha, even though he was born in an ancient Eastern country, he was attracted by the majestic red shrine and the spectacular thousand torii gates of this ancient shrine.

I have to say, there is still something to be said for a simple life.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to successfully export culture to the world.

Although Lin Yuan does not like Japan as a country, it is a novel experience to travel here occasionally and experience the scenery he has seen in anime and games.

After leaving Fushimi Inari Taisha, GAKKI brought Lin Yuan to Gion.

The name sounds like a garden, but it is actually the largest geisha flower street in Kyoto.

An old commercial street with traditional wooden buildings on both sides of the road.

There is not as much mess as you might imagine. In fact, this place is no different in nature from the old commercial pedestrian streets that exist in every city in China.

As you stroll through the place, you can see women in gorgeous kimonos walking by with small steps.

Lin Yuan bought many exquisite handicrafts and local delicacies here.

After all, this is not the era of prosperous online shopping, and bringing some gifts to relatives and friends when you go out is also a token of your thoughtfulness.

Lin Yuan believed that Director Cohen, Director Johnston, Vin Diesel, Paul, and even Mr. Eisen would like his little gift.

In addition to shopping, the two did not forget to taste Kyoto's famous matcha and sushi and experience Kyoto's unique food culture.

Along the way, a girl in white clothes held a camera, smiled, and tried her best to help Lin Yuan capture the most beautiful moment.

Whenever she takes a photo of Lin Yuan, GAKKI's bright eyes sparkle with vitality, which makes people's mood brighten up involuntarily.

"Thank you for your hard work today. You've accompanied me to visit so many attractions. You must be very tired, right?"

After Lin Yuan filled in the address and asked the merchant to send out the gifts he bought one by one, he came to Yui Aragaki.

It was really tiring to play like this for a whole day. Even with his physical fitness of 17 points, he felt a little tired, not to mention the slightly immature girl in front of him.

The girl smiled and shook her head without saying a word, just looking at him with her crescent eyes.

Suddenly, she lowered her head and said, "Lin Yuan-san, your shoelaces are untied."

But the next second, Lin Yuan didn't have time to squat down to tie his shoelaces.

The girl in the white dress had already squatted down.

She stretched out her slender white fingers and gently and carefully helped Lin Yuan tie his shoelaces.

"You don't have to do this." Lin Yuan didn't know what to say for a moment.

"This is what I want to do, and I'm happy to do it."

Without waiting for Lin Yuan's reply, GAKKI continued, "In my heart, I'm extremely grateful for what you've done for me these days. I've received your kindness, but I don't know how I can repay you."

"I don't have much money now, I can't even afford to treat you to a good meal."

"So please don't feel burdened. I just want to do my best to express my gratitude to you."

Seeing the sincere look in Yui Aragaki's eyes at this moment, Lin Yuan wondered if he could replicate his master-level acting skills.
Perhaps, sincerity from the heart is what touches people the most.

He reached out and gently touched the top of the girl's head.

GAKKI closed her eyes, smiled and rubbed a few times in response.

"I'm not tired. There's one last attraction left. Let's go!" As if injected with energy, GAKKI-chan jumped to the front with full energy.

"Hurry up! Otherwise it will be dark soon and you won't be able to see the beautiful scenery." Seeing that Lin Yuan didn't catch up, she turned around, smiled and waved to him.

Next stop, Kiyomizu-dera Temple.

It is also the last stop of this trip to Kyoto.

Kiyomizu-dera Temple was founded in 778 AD and is the oldest temple in Kyoto.

The most famous feature of this temple is the suspended Kiyomizu stage in front of the main hall, which is a national treasure of Japan.

The Qingshui Stage is suspended on a cliff, supported by 139 pillars and surrounded by lush vegetation.

In autumn, the surrounding mountains are covered in red, making it an ideal place to enjoy the maple leaves.

It was spring at that time, and Lin Yuan caught up with the annual cherry blossom season, with pink cherry blossoms all over the mountains.

A gust of wind blew, and the cherry blossom petals fluttered in the wind, as if in a fairyland.

Lin Yuan likes this place and wants to come here for one of the reasons:

The prototype of the Senpoji Temple in Miyazaki's game "Sekiro" is here.

The scenery in the game is absolutely beautiful, and it is no less beautiful in reality. Lin Yuan immediately felt in a good mood.

Standing on the suspended stage, looking at the boundless sea of ​​cherry blossoms below the cliff, he jokingly said:
"GAKKI-chan, the bitter and spicy food from your hometown is in full bloom again!"

"Hmm? But my hometown is Naha?"

I can't follow this joke, it's still so silly and cute.

"Although the tea art of Kiyomizu-dera Temple is unique, you probably won't be interested in it. After all, it's still not as good as that in China." The silly and cute girl pulled Lin Yuan towards the back mountain.

"I'll take you to a place that foreign tourists don't know about."

"Huh? Where to go?"

Lin Yuan couldn't help but wonder, were there any attractions in Kiyomizu-dera Temple that he hadn't seen in books? It made it so mysterious!

The two walked up the mountain path and passed by a waterfall called Otoyu Waterfall, where the water flowed clear all year round.

The flowing spring is divided into three parts, and it is said that each part has magical powers, namely longevity, wisdom and health.

Many tourists drink a sip of the spring water for good luck.

This clear spring is listed as the first of the ten famous springs in Japan, and the name of Kiyomizu Temple comes from it.

"Are you bringing me here to drink spring water?" Lin Yuan asked.

"Of course not. After all, it's raw water. There are too many microorganisms in it. Drinking it may not be good for you."

The girl continued to lead Lin Yuan forward, and after walking a few hundred meters along the mountain road, they came to a locust tree that was nearly thirty meters high.

I saw that the locust tree was covered with ribbons of various colors from high to low.

Upon closer inspection, there seemed to be words written on the ribbons.

"Where is this place?" Lin Yuan was unsure for a moment why the silly and cute girl brought him here.

"Pray to the sacred tree."

As GAKKI spoke, she took off her white shoes and carefully took off her white cotton socks and stuffed them into her shoes.

The slender and delicate feet and ten pearly white and round fingers are definitely food grade in the eyes of some people.

"What are you doing?" Lin Yuan was completely confused.

“Climb a tree!”
